Blizzard

So it's been 7 years since the 2003 blizzard that dumped 4 feet of snow here in Ken Caryl Ranch; and like 8 feet up in Evergreen and parts of the foothills. Big fun that kept on giving for days! My wife had a compound fracture of both right leg bones from a few weeks before that snow, and she was a real trooper out in the drifts shoveling away with a garbage bag tied up to her butt to keep her cast dry!

Now we're looking at another blizzard here in the next couple of days, and the news dudes keep referring to that storm. They refer to it as the 'blizzard of 2003'. Hey, it happened on St Patrick's Day! Why isn't it called the St Paddy's blizzard?! Is it like there are so many blizzards on St Paddy's that they can't keep track of them all? I smell some anti-Irish, storm-naming shenanigans here! Let's give the old boy's day his due, and start calling it the "Saint Patrick's Day Blizzard"!
